Firefox Extensions question - GoFuckYourself.com

sickkittens · 10-10-2005, 07:49 AM

I updated Firefox recently and it wiped out my extensions when doing so. How do I add my extensions back on the toolbar?

I still see my extensions listed under Tools>Extensions

Odd, I never experienced this after upgrading. You may want to just reinstall them all.

did you upgrade to the new beta version? most extensions still won't work there...

strange indeed

I think so.

Which version should I be using?

1.0.7 - that is the newest official gold release.

That's what I'm using, actually. Hmmm.

The extensions should automatically show up after I download them, correct? Or do I need to do something else?

you need to restart FF before those extentions come to effect

No luck. I've had these extensions for awhile too. They show up on the Extensions List in Tools. But they're nowhere on the nav. bar - at least the one that I'm looking to use isn't.

If you didn't upgrade to 1.5 - which does stop you from using your extensions - then you are simply coming up against the irrefutable fact that Firefox sucks.

Yeah, I still use it but I can't get my extensions to show up either, sometimes the links bar goes away, occassionally it'll "pop" and go away, it hogs memory, and something I did has totally prevented any sort of pop up or *even* new window from opening. I'm stuck using new tabs.

Try Opera. If it weren't for all my bookmarks, live bookmarks and saved passwords I wouldn't use Firefox ever again.

I'm afraid your extensions has been replaced by the new installation. Check out the following path and see if some extension folders exist:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERID\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.f6x\extensio ns\

If there's none, probably your previous profile has been replaced. That's bad news.

Weird, so far I haven't encountered such problem with FF.

here's a bump for you
